I have so many great memories of going to see Auntie Zee and Uncle Willie.  The two of them were always happy, always laughing, and there were always treats to be had.  We were fortunate to be close by, so they would just pop up at games and events for no reason, and they were a huge part of our growing up.  They were an amazing duo and I'm glad they are back together again.  

Nancy Busch:
She was so accepting of me when I came to Fresno from Hawaii not knowing anyone in the family. I did not have any warm clothes, and I don’t know where she got them, but she gave me a warm coat and some wool skirts.  
When I would come to Fresno with the kids for appointments I sometimes would stop at their house and was always warmly welcomed.  If no one was home, I just let myself in with the key under the flowerpot and we made ourselves at home.
  Stan Busch:
  When I had a break in my college classes, I would often go there, and she would give me dinner.  She always worried because it was left-overs night.  I was just happy to get a meal.
She was a wonderful aunt to our kids. She and Willie always came to every event for all three Busch kids. Sporting events, birthdays, and of course graduations.  It meant a lot to our kids. 
She was so generous to everyone.  Every winter she would ask us if we wanted persimmons….no thank you..  How about grapefruit…..no thank you.  How about some peanut clusters?  Oh yes, we would like those!  She always loaded us up with candy.    
Nancy Busch:
Many of you may remember the way she always said “are you sure”?  And no matter how old the people getting ready to leave and get in the car “do you have to go tinkle”.  
Even as she was at the end of her life, when we visited, she always asked if we wanted something to eat or drink.  A lovely lady who loved her family and ours as well. She will be missed.  
We want to thank Nikki, Jualice and their families, and all those who helped Lu these last few months.  She was able to die at home and she deserved that. 


Auntie Zee, as she was affectionately known at our house, was a generous and loving person.  She loved her family more than anything in the world and would move heaven and earth to help them.

I will always remember Easter at their house in Fresno.  Uncle Willie would hide the eggs over and over for the kids, while she made dinner.  I especially loved the coffee cake (still a family favorite). 

I loved going to their house because Auntie Zee always had the newest fitness equipment.  There was the “lazy susan-ish” gadget that I stood on and twisted my body.  But the “shake-o-matic” machine with the big belt that shook my internal organs was the highlight!

After our visits to the farm, I’ll always remember the grapes, raisins, grapes, persimmons and more grapes that she would give us when we left.

Auntie Zee made everyone feel happy, loved and included. She was a wonderful Aunt and I miss her dearly.


The bond I shared with my Grandma was special from me trying to make her smile and laugh to the end when she called me her Baby. I will always love you Grandma. You loved to hear the honk as we left so you could wave and see us leave. You tried to help everyone as much as you could. You and grandpa are now together forever and happy. I love you ❤️ You are already missed now and forever

The tears we cry and the grief we feel is unexpressed love for her. It’s all the love we still have in our hearts for her. One of my favorite sounds I still hear in my head is grandma yelling Wilbert and getting onto him for being honorary or getting in the cookie drawer too much. I will also always remember her cookie drawer.
